Welcome to our blog

The purpose of life is to always continue growing. And more often than not we can benefit from a new perspective, a different way of understanding things, a piece of wisdom that somehow unravels a deep understanding within. That's what this blog is all about.

I guarantee that if you go back and review all your past relationships, you'll find a pattern.

The way you feel treated or mistreated, how others leave you, abandon you, take care of you or appreciate you. How lonely or understood you feel.

It's repeated over and over, no matter who the other person in the relationship is. It all began a long time ago and you probably can't really pinpoint how or when.

We think that emotional pattern is out of our control. That the way we feel is in someone else's hands because it's determined by how they treat us.

Let me share something with you.

It all began when you conscious or unconsciously made a decision about how you needed to respond to life's event to survive, feel safe, feel loved. You decided what other people's behaviors meant... That is when that pattern started.

Your emotions are physical. They're a series of reactions in your body (if you want to learn more about that I recommend a book called "molecules of emotion" by Candace Pert).

But how long those emotions stay and what they mean is ALL UP TO YOU.

That's created by the story you tell yourself and the world about what happened, about how you felt or someone "made you feel".

So the other person really has no power over you, it's all in your hands because you choose your stories. You choose what something means and how you will respond.

And you also have a very powerful choice: how to move your body.

Emotions are physiological. That means if we change the way we move our bodies, our emotions will also change.

It helps you create new emotional patterns through movement while giving you the mental clarity and space to become aware of the stories that are not serving you anymore.

So the meanings you unconsciously created as a child are probably outdated and in fact not letting you grow. MOVE YOUR BODY, allow the emotions to just be, and pass. Refrain from wanting to create a story for every emotion. Just move.
